- I'm about to buy Insite's floptical drive, that uses those 21 MB
- flopticals and is capable of reading/writing 720k/1,44M diskettes.
- Now I'm wondering if OS/2 has any inside support for these drives or
- should I install a software driver for it. I haven't bought OS/2 yet,
- but I shall in a near future (someone else waiting for that 32-bit
- Graphics Engine? ;)). DOS supports those drivers without any sw
- drivers, so I thought OS/2 wouldn't be any worse. If that matters,
- that drive would be using Future Domain TMC-850FMLK SCSI controller.
-
- I hope I'm not wrong! ;-)

- Any references to reliable sources of information are welcome and
- appreciated, and those sacrifying their precious time are heartly put
- in my endless list of people who gratitute my thanks!
-
- Use mail if you prefer!
